Date: 8/10/2010 
Entry: I spent the day in space 447 teasing out the limits of the plaster floor (Unit 15167) and its interfaces with the suspected southern buttress (F.3349). The process is tedious but rewarding. The eastern wall F.3323 is becoming all the clearer in the plan... click here for more...

Date: 8/6/2011 
Entry: Today, I finished unit 16937 and 16943. It�s a pit and it belong probably to the byzantine period (at least post Neolithic and chalcolithic). It cut at least 4 walls (F.3346, F.3350, F.3349, F.2426). We can note different composition of walls: F. 3346 and... click here for more...

Entry: Nice progress in the trench on Thursday and today, although several areas start to become more complicated than they seemed to be. As usual! HLS continued to expose the plaster feature U.16932. We are not that sure any more that is is a floor, although... click here for more...

Entry: Apart from room fill excavation, we set out on a wall finding mission today, trying to define the walls in the trench extension that we have been seeing and feeling for a while, but which are still clouded by disturbances. We want to identify these walls ... click here for more...

Date: 8/15/2012 
Entry: Last day with our Southampton power team. DLG, with Harish and Sam, brushed Building 107 really nicely for a 3D photo session done by PTW. After that, they started taking out wall F.3344 from the top. The reason for starting with this wall is that the ... click here for more...

Date: 8/19/2012 
Entry: KTX took a photo of the �section� through F.5058 created by leaving the last centimetres towards F.2424 and then removed this rest of the wall, and of F.3351. During the last days, a crack had formed naturally when the material had dried out, allowing him... click here for more... 
 
Name: EUR 
Team:  
Date: 8/20/2012 
Entry: Today was a stressful day overall. It took us over two hours to clean the building, but the wind was so strong that stuff used to get dusty again. The intention was to find the floor with a sondage (Unit 18370) in the center of the BLDG 105, but trouble a... click here for more...

Team:  
Date: 8/20/2012 
Entry: After sweeping the whole building b.105 for the photos and the 3D scan (our beautiful baby shines now!), I started to take f.3349 away. This wall is situated in the southwestern corner of b.105, where 3 walls with more or less the same orientation have be... click here for more...

Date: 8/20/2012 
Entry: CMF and EUR brushed their Building 105 for its first 3D-Scan. After this, CMF started on removing wall F.3349, which turned out to be quite disturbed, and uncovered nicely the tops of walls F.3352 and F.3350, starting from the northern part moving south. ... click here for more...

Date: 8/21/2012 
Entry: GWN worked further in his sondage. After taking out floor 18376, we saw two rectangles in the cut: a red rectangle in the west, and a dark grey rectangle in the east. Both seemed to be building material; they were rather homogeneous and we have seen both ... click here for more...
